## 🚀 Quick Start
### 1. Install
```bash
# Easy install (no Python needed)
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# Or with Python: uv tool install freshrelease-mcp
```
### 2. Get Credentials
- **API Key**: Freshrelease → Profile → API Key
- **Domain**: `company.freshrelease.com` (your domain)
- **Project Key**: e.g., `"FS"`, `"PROJ"` (optional)
### 3. Configure Cursor
Add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"freshrelease-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["freshrelease-mcp"],
"env": {
"FRESHRELEASE_API_KEY": "your_api_key",
"FRESHRELEASE_DOMAIN": "company.freshrelease.com",
"FRESHRELEASE_PROJECT_KEY": "FS"
}
}
}
}
```
### 4. Restart Cursor
✅ You'll see Freshrelease tools available!
## 💡 Usage Examples
### 🎯 Create & Manage Tasks
**Ask AI to create a bug report:**
> "Create a bug ticket titled 'Fix login issue' in the FS project, assign it to john@example.com, and set the status to In Progress"
The AI will automatically:
- Find your FS project
- Convert "john@example.com" to the correct user ID
- Set the issue type as "Bug"
- Resolve "In Progress" to the proper status ID
**Get project overview:**
> "Show me all tasks in the FS project"
### 📋 Advanced Task Filtering
**Use natural language filtering:**
> "Find all high priority tasks owned by John Doe that are currently in progress"
The AI understands both:
- **Friendly labels**: "Owner", "Status", "Priority"
- **Technical names**: "owner_id", "status_id", "priority_id"
**Native Freshrelease filtering:**
> "Filter tasks using saved filter ID 102776 with custom fields and date ranges"
**Sprint and date-based filtering:**
> "Show me all bugs in Sprint 1 created between Dec 2024 and Aug 2025"
### 🧪 Test Case Management
**Filter test cases naturally:**
> "Find all high and medium severity functional tests in the Authentication section"
**Navigate hierarchical sections:**
> "Get all test cases from Authentication > Login Tests > Positive Cases section"
The AI can navigate up to 7 levels deep in section hierarchies automatically.
**Get test run insights:**
> "How is test run 150183 performing?"
**Response example:**
*"Test run has 8 total tests, all 8 passed successfully. Great job!"*
